Our “education system” absolutely wants a large number of foreign national students as it keeps the head count up within their classes while maintaining academic standards. Take the foreign student head count out and there are hard choices to make on academic standards (which translates directly to professional preparedness I think that’s easy to extrapolate) vs professor head count.

Trump caused it. USAID bought US grain no more. Trump tariffs ended exports. Farmers will need, and get massive bailouts, making them welfare recipients.

I know the splorn crops are being killed because of Trump. Occupy Democrat's even posted a video on it. CNN even tried to interview the farmer. You can really relate to it. Has bad language in the video

without the foreign students the system changes drastically. they pay more tuition per student, they make up for demographic trends of flat to down growth in number of potential students and they keep pressure on having live vs online courses as International students have to take the bulk of their credit hours in live courses. that last one alone is a big deal and many programs (grad in particular) have kept live/on campus classes to accommodate these students. get rid of them and we move even more online and the competitive landscape changes dramatically and all the investment in physical facilities comes into question.

it's only a matter of time for the traditional university system

I was wondering your opinion on this and almost tagged you when I made that post because you have first hand knowledge

We almost chased the money with our grad biz programs but our core market was working people who wanted online classes - to accommodate the Int'l students we'd have to offer in-class and that's a problem because the language skills, lack of business experience and rampant cheating (culturally different views on academic misconduct) made those classes bad experiences for faculty and for regular students. Still, in revenue challenged times people are tempted to make the compromises for revenue.

But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

Oh but it does have an inflationary impact here. The treasury has to create that money just the same as if it was staying here

Hmm. Money dump into our economy and or money that circulates rapidly is inflationary.

I am unfamiliar with money in storage or circulating in another country's economy causing an inflationary spike.

Care to explain?

Based on Argentina’s economic history would you consider them a good loan risk?

Not on history. I think the present economic indicators are stronger.

Risk is offset by terms and collateral. This is where I have no confidence in our government to get it right. I don't think the terms will be balanced relative to risk and i know for a fact they won't ask for collateral.

It’s still US dollars created out of thin air that is put into circulation. Most of those dollars will probably be used to pay interest to US banks so it’s coming back into the country.

Let's take this one at a time.

Is money printed but kept in storage inflationary?

No just when put into circulation without removing an equal amount from circulation.

ok. agreed.

is money loaned to Argentina loaned to be used in their economy (as USD) or used by argentina to back their currency (Argentine Peso)?

It would be in US dollars even if it were done through a currency swap

I edited my post because it was unclear. You replied before i did that. Let me bring the spirit of that edit to this post.

Would the money loaned circulate in Argentina as USD or would it be held in the national bank to back their peso?
